(In this mode, stations are received in stereo or monaural automatically.) 4 Press the TUNING UP button to tune to a higher frequency, or press the TUNING DOWN button to tune to a lower frequency. 5 If the station where tuning search stopped is not the desired one, follow step 4 again. * If the tuning search does not stop at the desired station, change to the Manual tuning method as described below. STEREO indicator will illuminate when an FM stereo broadcast with sufficient signal strength is received. Preamplifier/Tuner 4, 3 3, 2 * Select the reception band [FM or AM (MW or LW)] by pressing the BAND button while watching the display. Manual tuning “AM” is for U.S.A., Canada and General models. “MW/LW” is for Europe model. 1 2 Follow steps 1 and 2 of the Automatic tuning method. 3 Press and hold the TUNING UP button to tune to a higher frequency, or press and hold the TUNING DOWN button to tune to a lower frequency. Release it just before reaching the desired frequency, and then press it repeatedly until the desired frequency appears. Press the AUTO/MAN’L button so that “AUTO TUNING” disappears from the display. (In this mode, stations are received in monaural.) Note If you tune to an FM station manually, it is received in monaural automatically to increase the signal quality. 23  TUNING OPERATION Preset tuning This unit can store station frequencies selected by tuning operation. With this function, you can select any desired station by only calling the corresponding preset station number. Up to 40 stations (8 stations x 5 areas) can be stored.

For easier operation By using the preset station number buttons and the A,B,C,D,E selector buttons on the remote control transmitter, a preset station number and an area can be selected directly. 24  TUNING OPERATION Automatic preset tuning You can also make use of an automatic preset tuning function. By this function, this unit performs automatic tuning and stores stations with strong signals sequentially. Up to 40 stations are stored automatically in the same way as in the manual preset tuning method on the previous page. 1 1 2 Preamplifier/Tuner Press the TUNER input selector button. Press and hold the AUTO MEMORY button for about 2 seconds. * The MEMORY and AUTO TUNING indicators will flash. This unit performs automatic tuning and received stations are programmed to A1, A2 ... A8 sequentially. After the automatic preset tuning is completed The display shows the frequencies of the first preset station (stored to A1). Check the contents and the number of preset stations by following the procedure of the section “To recall a preset station” on the previous page. 2 To recall a preset station Simply follow the procedure of the section “To recall a preset station” on the previous page. Notes • The automatic preset tuning search will be performed through all frequencies until 40 stations are stored. If the number of received stations is less than 40, the search will stop after searching through all frequencies. • With this function, only stations with sufficient signal strength are stored automatically. If the station you want to program is weak in signal strength, tune to it in monaural manually and program it by following the procedure of the section “To store stations” on the previous page. • You can replace a preset station by another FM or AM (MW or LW) station manually by simply following the procedure of the section “To store stations” on the previous page. Fundamental rules of internal automatic preset tuning operation Basically, FM stations are programmed onto area A, B and C, and AM stations are programmed onto area D and E (MW stations are onto D and LW stations are onto E) in that order automatically. * If, for example, the number of received FM stations is not enough to fill up three areas (A, B and C), AM (MW or LW) stations are programmed closely from the preceeding empty areas. In such a case, AM (MW) stations are programmed from area B or C (and LW stations are from area C or D.) * Moreover, one area is programmed with stations of the same band only. If, for example, the last FM station is programmed to B4, B5–B8 will be programmed with no station, and AM (MW) stations are programmed from area C. Memory back-up The memory back-up circuit prevents the programmed data from being lost even if the AC supply lead is disconnected from the AC outlet or the power is cut due to temporary power failure. If, however, the power is cut for more than one week, the memory may be erased. If so, it can be reprogrammed by simply following the Preset tuning steps. 25  TAPE DECK OPERATION General information • • • • • • • Detection hole • Tab Do not use C-120 tapes, tapes with internal reels or poorquality tapes, since they can cause malfunctions. Before loading a tape into the cassette compartment, tighten the slack tape with a pen or pencil. Tapes have removable tabs which prevent accidental recording or erasing from taking place. Removing the tab on the top left protects the side facing you from erasure. Cover the tab holes with adhesive tape to erase or record again. This deck is a Single Cassette Deck with Automatic Reverse Function. This deck features an auto tape selector. Just load the tape, and the tape formula being used will be sensed automatically. This unit can play back metal tapes as well as normal or chrome tapes, and recording can also be done on metal tapes. When covering erasure prevention tab holes, do not cover the chrome and metal detection holes. Otherwise, the deck will treat tape as normal tape. Do not press the OPEN/CLOSE button during playback or recording. Tape playback Preamplifier/Tuner 1 2 Press the TAPE input selector button. 3 4 Load the tape into the cassette compartment. 5 Set the reverse mode switch as desired. 1 3 Side A upward. Open the cassette compartment by pressing the OPEN/CLOSE button. Set the Dolby NR switch to B or C if the tape has been recorded with Dolby noise reduction, and to OFF if Dolby NR was not used. * For selection of the Dolby B or C position, refer to the “Dolby B and C Type Noise Reduction” on page 27. The reverse mode switch can be operated before or during playback, and changes tape playback as follows: Side A only Side A → Side B Side A → Side B Continuous play (8 times) Side B only Side B only Side B → Side A Continuous play (8 times) Tape Deck 6 EMPTY 6 64 5 2 26 Press the play button to listen to side A, or the play button for side B.  TAPE DECK OPERATION To stop playback Press the stop button. Note When removing the tape, press the stop open the cassette compartment. button, and then Direct operation Even if an input source other than tape deck is selected, pressing the play button (or the fast wind button) will start playback (or fast winding) directly. Tape Counter (LINEAR COUNTER) and RESET button RESET LINEAR COUNTER This unit is equipped with a tape counter which is useful for searching and locating a desired point on tape. The tape counter is displayed by minutes and seconds, though the displayed time is not so close to the actual elapsed time. (It will be close to the actual elapsed time by using a tape with the length of 60 minutes or 90 minutes.) Pressing the RESET button on the left side of the tape counter resets the tape counter to “0:00”. REMAIN EMPTY REMAIN indicators The remaining amount of the tape for the side now being played back is shown by the illumination of these indicators. According as the tape is played back, the indicators will go out one by one. When the tape playback nears the end of the side, the indicator at the left end flashes rapidly. However, when using a tape with large hubs, the tape may stop before the indicator flashes. This is because the error between the displayed time and the actual elapsed time becomes large when using these tapes. Dolby B and C Type Noise Reduction Dolby HX PRO Dynamic Bias Servo System With cassette tapes, the most noticeable form of noise is high frequency hiss. To reduce this hiss noise, this unit has been equipped with a newly developed Dolby C noise reduction system in addition to its conventional Dolby B NR. Either type of noise reduction may be selected with the switch provided. Dolby B NR has a noise reduction effect of about 10 dB in the high frequency range. The corresponding figure with Dolby C NR is about 20 dB, but this is over the entire range where the human ear is most sensitive to noise (2 kHz to 8 kHz). Also, Dolby C NR has the same noise reduction effect at both high and low signal levels. In addition, Dolby C NR improves the tape’s MOL (Maximum Output Level). Dolby noise reduction is a 2 part process that acts both on recording and playback; be sure that the noise reduction button is set to the same position on record and play. * Noise in the source material cannot be reduced with the Dolby NR system. This unit incorporates the Dolby HX Pro system which automatically controls the effective bias to reduce distortion and noise, improving high frequency response during recording. Tapes recorded with this system retain the same high quality even when played back on any other tape deck. • NR HX PRO DOLBY B.C Dolby noise reduction and HX Pro headroom extension manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation, HX Pro originated by Bang & Olufsen. “DOLBY”, the double-D symbol and “HX PRO” are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. 27  TAPE DECK OPERATION Winding the tape Tape Deck 1 2 If during playback, first press the stop 3 Press the stop Next press the fast wind wind the tape. or fast wind button. button to button to stop. * While winding the tape, the corresponding play direction indicator flashes rapidly.

If the electrical resistance of the voice coil is reduced to zero, the movement of the speaker unit would become linear with respect to signal voltage, and, to accomplish this, a special negative-impedance output-drive amplifier for subtracting output impedance of the amplifier is used. By employing negative-impedance drive circuits, the amplifier is able to generate precise, low-amplitude low-frequency waves with superior damping characteristics, and these waves are then radiated from the cabinet opening as highamplitude signals. The system can, therefore, by employing the negative-impedance output drive amplifier and a speaker cabinet with the Helmholtz resonator, reproduce an extremely wide range of frequencies with amazing sound quality and less distortion. The features described above are combined to be the fundamental structure of the Active Servo Technology. The theory of the Active Servo Technology is based upon two major factors, the Helmholtz resonator and negativeimpedance drive. Active Servo Processing speakers reproduce the bass frequencies through an “air woofer”, which is a small port or opening in the speaker’s cabinet. This opening is used instead of, and performs the functions of, a woofer in a conventionally designed speaker system. Thus, signals of low amplitude within the cabinet can, according to the Helmholtz resonance theory, be output from this opening as waves of great amplitude if the design is such that the size of the opening and the volume of the cabinet are in the correct proportion to satisfy a certain ratio. In order to accomplish this, moreover, the amplitudes within the cabinet must be both precise and of sufficient power because these amplitudes must overcome the “load” presented by the air that exists within the cabinet. 45  YAMAHA YAMAHA YAMAHA YAMAHA YAMAHA YAMAHA YAMAHA ELECTRONICS CORPORATION, USA 6660 ORANGETHORPE AVE., BUENA PARK, CALIF. 90620, U.S.A.
